Okay, here's the scenario: you need some classic winter transport, you've got a couple of grand to spend and you want to make sure you don't get stuck in a snow drift. My money would be on the Lada Niva.
I've owned a couple. They were slow, basic, noisy, unrefined and really not pleasant to drive. But they were reliable, brilliant in even the deepest snow, and as good off-road as anything from Solihull.
I've also had a few of the smaller Suzukis (SJ, Jimny, etc) but still really rate the Niva. What's everyone else think?
